- Marc should also focus on efficient transitions between segments to minimize time spent in the roxzone. Practicing quick transitions during training sessions will help improve his overall race time.
- Incorporating specific training sessions that mimic the race conditions, such as completing a circuit of the Hyrox exercises with minimal rest, can help Marc improve his overall performance and endurance in the race.
- Marc should also consider working with a coach or trainer to develop a personalized training plan that targets his specific areas of improvement and helps him reach his performance goals.
